Tomasz,
Ok and thanks, but I could not figure out how to do the following via OLE.
1. I can get AB open, but could not figure out how to go to Database setting, configure and retreive first which I need to do prior to doing a backtest.
2. I can get AB open and then AQ open, but can not figure out how to tell AQ to get tickers from AB and then download Current only without using key stocks.
